WILMINGTON, Del. — DuPont announced the launch of the Educational Hub (EDU HUB), a customized learning resource for residential construction professionals. The EDU HUB is available 24 hours a day, making it a convenient tool to learn more about the portfolio of DuPont residential construction products, current industry trends and to access a broad range of interactive content.

The EDU HUB highlights the deep industry knowledge and experience of DuPont as a building science thought leader to aid builders, remodelers and contractors in gaining further expertise. A range of information will be available in multiple formats, including webinars with the opportunity for CEU credits, podcasts, video content, case studies and product profiles.

"We have a long history of offering industry leading products as well as accompanying educational elements to help provide enhanced product understanding, practical tips and spotlight key industry issues," said Alan Hubbell, residential marketing leader North America, DuPont Performance Building Solutions. "Our ability to look ahead and innovate both in terms of product offerings and educational resources has helped us differentiate ourselves over the years in a crowded marketplace. The EDU HUB will enable building professionals to stay abreast of the latest information in a way that is convenient and highly accessible for years to come."

The EDU HUB is available at building.dupont.com/eduhub. Visitors will be able to browse new, informative and entertaining content such as, the premier podcast in the series, Residentially Speaking with host, Alan Hubbell. In this first podcast, Hubbell speaks to Mark LaLiberte from the company Construction Instruction on the “state of the industry” from the point-of-view of a building scientist to future-looking trends in residential building.

Visitors to EDU HUB will also be able to register to participate in an upcoming webinar on May 13, Designing & Building Healthy Homes, with a focus on the building envelope and indoor air quality.  This webinar features well-known industry expert speakers, Steve Easley and Susan Raterman, as they demonstrate why properly ventilated, well-insulated, tighter homes have better indoor air quality and are healthier to live in than traditionally insulated homes.

DuPont Performance Building Solutions provides the marketplace with a full suite of weatherization, thermal and air sealing solutions and services with the EDU HUB being the latest addition to a solution set aimed at both supplying and serving the needs of the residential building industry. DuPont knows staying abreast the latest information and topics in construction is important to builders because the homes they build today will need to stand the test of time — expanding, contracting, breathing and protecting — for generations to come. Build better. Build beyond. Build for sure.
